The superstar striker told CNN in Riyadh: <b>&#8220;I will be 41 years old and I think this will be the moment in the big competition.&#8221;<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Martinez praised Ronaldo&#8217;s <b>work ethic, competitive fire, and longevity<\/b> as the team prepares for what could be Portugal&#8217;s greatest achievement. The coach emphasized that <b>no one is in the squad just because of their name<\/b>, but Ronaldo earned his place through <b>nine qualifying goals and consistent performances<\/b>. His presence alone gives rivals reason to be cautious.<\/p>\n<h2>Why Martinez Doesn&#8217;t Consider Portugal Tournament Favorites<\/h2>\n<p>While Martinez shows complete confidence in a final, he&#8217;s also realistic about Portugal&#8217;s overall standing. According to the Portugal coach, only teams that have previously won a World Cup deserve the <b>&#8220;favorites&#8221; label<\/b>. <b>Germany, Spain, France, Brazil, and Argentina<\/b> hold that distinction because they&#8217;ve won before.<\/p>\n<p>Martinez places Portugal in the tier he calls <b>&#8220;contenders.&#8221;<\/b> He explained that winning a World Cup previously gives teams <b>special psychological strength<\/b>. Historically, only <b>France in 1998 and Spain in 2010<\/b> won the trophy as first-time winners in the last 11 editions.<\/p>\n<p>Yet Martinez remains unshaken, pointing to Portugal&#8217;s <b>recent UEFA Nations League victory over Spain<\/b> as evidence of the team&#8217;s quality. He believes the squad&#8217;s cohesion and tactical preparation could overcome historical disadvantages when it matters most.<\/p>\n<h2>The Historic Mission Ronaldo Never Achieved<\/h2>\n<p>The <b>World Cup trophy<\/b> remains the only major honor missing from Ronaldo&#8217;s extraordinary international collection. He won the <b>Euro 2016 championship<\/b>, leading Portugal to their greatest triumph, but the World Cup has eluded him throughout his career.<\/p>\n<p><b>Multiple outlets<\/b> have reported on Ronaldo&#8217;s desire to finally claim this missing piece. At 40 years old, time is running out. The <b>2026 tournament in North America<\/b> represents his final opportunity to complete his legacy.<\/p>\n<p>For Portugal&#8217;s rivals, this creates a <b>dangerous scenario<\/b>. A motivated Ronaldo with nothing left to lose, guided by a coach convinced they can win at any stage, could prove formidable. Martinez&#8217;s statement carries weight because it&#8217;s backed by recent tournament success and a squad with genuine depth.<\/p>\n<h2>Can Portugal Really Stop the Field if They Reach the Final?<\/h2>\n<p><b>Martinez believes<\/b> they absolutely can. The coach&#8217;s conviction about the final scenario suggests he&#8217;s mapped tactical pathways through the tournament. Whether Portugal can overcome the historical weight of teams like <b>Germany, Spain, and France<\/b> remains football&#8217;s great question heading into 2026.<\/p>\n<p>One thing is certain: <b>Cristiano Ronaldo&#8217;s historic final mission<\/b> has focused Portugal&#8217;s entire squad on one specific dream. With Martinez&#8217;s unwavering confidence and Ronaldo&#8217;s competitive hunger, rivals cannot afford to underestimate what could unfold in North America this summer.<\/p>\n<h3>Sources<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><b>World Soccer Talk<\/b> &#8211; Roberto Martinez&#8217;s World Cup interview and Portugal tactical analysis<\/li>\n<li><b>BBC Sport<\/b> &#8211;
